Help Your Child Stay Safe with New York Life's Child ID Program

As parents, we want to do everything we can to keep our children safe, and New York Life Insurance Company is here to help!

New York Life is hosting a Child ID event at Norwin Public Library from 10:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 16. All children in attendance will receive a FREE identification card, which includes your child’s photo, fingerprints, and other vital information.

Having a Child ID gives parents or guardians the peace of mind of knowing that should anything ever happen to their child, they will have an ID with vital information to distribute to local authorities. 

Child IDs are created using the EZ Child ID system, the nation's most comprehensive digital fingerprinting child identification system. Created with help from the national CHIP Foundation and law enforcement officials, this system ensures that digital fingerprints meet industry standards, capturing all vital information required by the Amber Alert system. EZ Child ID is the system of choice for law enforcement, U.S. military, and the Department of Homeland Security. It uses the same process that was adopted by the Department of Defense. 

In only three to five minutes, a Child ID card is printed for each parent or legal guardian in attendance, free of charge. Each card features a child's photo, fingerprints, contact information, and other vital information needed by the police in case of an emergency.  A parent or legal guardian must be in attendance to receive the ID card.

Learn what you can do to create a happier, safe environment for our children. Bring the entire family and learn valuable safety tips at the Norwin Public Library on Feb. 16!
